Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has called on residents to be Christlike by reducing the cost of commodities as the Naira appreciates against the dollar.
He said it was important to reflect this as Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Sanwo-Olu spoke at the Combined Special Prayer for Nigeria and President Bola Tinubu in commemoration of Easter and Ramadan celebrations, on Friday.
The prayer, held at the State House Mosque Complex, Alausa, Ikeja, attracted leaders of both the Muslim and Christian community.
“It’s beginning to turn around, that’s what we said a couple of weeks ago that there’s nothing that is difficult that will last forever.
“Even at the national level, a naira that we all thought that would never rebound is becoming stronger.
“it’s gaining weight and becoming a lot more of the currency that we all appreciate.
” You can even see from the policies that the Federal Government is bringing out, Naira savings is now the order of the day.
“You should be happy as Nigerians that we are holding on to our currency and which will improve our exchange of value,” Sanwo-Olu said.
He said this needed to reflect in the markets, as the currency was getting stronger and better.
